Two concentric circles are intersected by a line l at a, b, c and d. then

In the given figure, l is a line intersecting the two concentric circles, whose common center is O, at the points A, B, C, and D. Show that AB = CD.

Two concentric circles are intersected by a line l at a, b, c and d. then

Let OM be perpendicular from O on line l. We know that the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to as chord; bisect the chord.Since BC is a chord of the smaller circle and OM ⊥ BC.∴ BM = CM                 ....(i)Again, AD is a chord of the larger circle and OM ⊥ AD.∴ AM = DM                 ....(ii)Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get,AM - BM = DM - CM ⇒ AB = CD

Hence proved.

Concept: Chord Properties - the Perpendicular to a Chord from the Center Bisects the Chord (Without Proof)

  Is there an error in this question or solution?

Given: A line intersects two concentric circles (circles with the same centre) with centre O at A, B, C and D.To Prove: AB = CD.Construction: Draw OM ⊥ BC.

Two concentric circles are intersected by a line l at a, b, c and d. then

Proof: ∵ The perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.∴ AM = DM    ...(1)and    BM = CM    ...(2)Subtracting (2) from (1), we getAM - BM = DM - CM

⇒    AB = CD.

Two concentric circles are intersected by a line l at a, b, c and d. then

Solution

Given : 

Two concentric circles with O. A line intersect them at A, B, C, and D

To prove: AB=CD

construction:  Draw OM ⊥ AD, In bigger circle AD is chord OM ⊥ AD.

Proof

∴AM=MD [⊥ from centre of circle of a circle bisects the chord] ——–(i)

The smaller circle :

BC is chord OM ⊥ BC

BM=MC [⊥ from centre of the circle of a circle bisects the chord] ————–(ii)

On subtracting (i) from (ii)

AM-BM=MD-MC

AB=CD

Hence Proved
